Several more options are present for baking:
|
|
|
|
|
|
-- **Bake Subdiv**: The Godot lightmapper uses a grid to transfer light information around; the default value is fine and should work for most cases. Increase it in case you want better lighting on small details or your scene is large.
|
|
|
-- **Capture Subdiv**: This is the grid used for real-time capture information (lighting dynamic objects). Default value is generally OK, it's usually smaller than Bake Subdiv and can't be larger than it.

|
|
|
- **Bake Quality**: Three bake quality modes are provided, Low, Medium and High. Higher quality takes more time.
|
|
|
-- **Bake Mode**: The baker can use two different techniques: *Voxel Cone Tracing* (fast, but approximate), or *RayTracing* (slow, but accurate).
|
|
|
-- **Propagation**: Used for the *Voxel Cone Trace* mode. Works just like in ``GIProbe``.
|
|
|
-- **HDR**: If disabled, lightmaps are smaller, but can't capture any light over white (1.0).

-- **Light Data**: Contains the light baked data after baking. Textures are saved to disk, but this also contains the capture data for dynamic objects, which can be a bit heavy. If you are using .tscn formats (instead of .scn), you can save it to disk.

If you are using a scene in ``.tscn`` format, you should save this resource to an external binary ``.res`` file to avoid bloating the ``.tscn`` scene with binary data encoded in Base64.
